CAROLINE HAYOOGK, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

COUGH REMEDY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,191, dated September 20, 1887.

Application filed December 23, 1886. Serial No. 222,369.

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CAROLINE HAYOOOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Remedies for Coughs and Colds; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to a remedy for the treatment of coughs, colds, and pulmonary discases; and it consists of the following ingredients: To one gallon of pure water is added one'quarter (i) of a pound of hops, one and one-half (1%) ounce of hoarhound, one (1) ounce of peppermint-herb, one (1) ounce of licorice-root, one-quarter (i) pound of rockcandy, one-half pound of sugar, and the juice of five (5)1emons, the whole being boiled sufficiently to thoroughly compound. The mixture is administered in doses of one tablespoonful every three hours to adults, and onehalf tea-spoonful every three hours to children. These doses are for severe cases, and

may be lessened when the cough or cold is less severe.

(No specimens.)

This compoundin its effects is sedative, the hoarhound, peppermint, licorice, roclocandy, sugar, and lemon acting directly upon the inflamed parts of the throat, and the narcotic properties of the hops producing the necessary soothing effect without the usual constipation which attends the use of some narcotics.

The compound, when prepared for market, is placed in bottles and tightly sealed, which keeps it in proper condition and prevents any deterioration or loss of its properties.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is-

A remedy for coughs, colds, or pulmonary diseases, consisting of hops, hoarhound, peppermint, licorice, rock candy, sugar, and lemon-juice, in about the proportions set forth.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
